What are the visa requirements for French language programs? I see that CampusFrance handles a lot of the processing/etc for higher education but it doesn't appear that you need to go through Campus France for a basic language course.
Most of the courses I have looked into are 4-8-12-24 week long programs with some offering courses after 24 weeks and some even offering 48 week programs. If you apply for a 30 week program, would you get a 1 year student visa? Or would they truncate it to the exact length of the program?
Also, is there a minimum number of hours per week that you need to be in class for to obtain a student visa? Most offer 15-20 hours of instruction per week. However, I would rather have around 10 hours per week if possible.
Just wondering if anyone had any experiences with this.
